James F. Clarke Quote

Let us not torment each other because we are not all alike, but believe that God knew best what He was doing in making us so different. So will the best harmony come out of seeming discords, the best affection out of differences, the best life out of struggle, and the best work will be done when each does his own work, and lets every one else do and be what God made him for.

— James F. Clarke

Faith

This is the way to cultivate courage: First, by standing firm on some conscientious principle, some law of duty. Next, by being faithful to truth and right on small occasions and common events. Third, by trusting in God for help and power.

— James F. Clarke

Courage

I do not say the mind gets informed by action,—bodily action; but it does get earnestness and strength by it, and that nameless something that gives a man the mastership of his faculties.

— Wm. Mountford

Courage

The truest help we can render an afflicted man is not to take his burden from him, but to call out his best strength, that he may be able to bear the burden.

— Phillips Brooks

Courage

Oh, when we are journeying through the murky night and the dark woods of affliction and sorrow, it is something to find here and there a spray broken, or a leafy stem bent down with the tread of His foot and the brush of His hand as He passed; and to remember that the path He trod He has hallowed, and thus to find lingering fragrance and hidden strength in the remembrance of Him as "in all points tempted like as we are," bearing grief for us, bearing grief with us, bearing grief like us.

— Alexander Maclaren

Courage

Assurance of hope is more than life. It is health, strength, power, vigor, activity, energy, manliness, beauty.

— J. C. Ryle
